Why you should be optimistic about Vikings S Harrison Smith

Why you should be optimistic about Vikings S Harrison Smith

There was a report earlier this week via the Pioneer Press that said Vikings safety Harrison Smith will miss Sunday’s game with an ankle injury and that could cause him to miss the entire season.

Vikings coach Mike Zimmer doesn’t care about reports. He knows Smith and his toughness. He addressed that on Wednesday.

“I know Harrison Smith is a pretty tough guy and he plays all the time,” Zimmer said after practice. “When he’s hurt, he plays. He always plays, so I don’t care about reports. I just go by what happens in practice.”

Smith will be out on Sunday against the Jaguars, but for a team that is on the outside looking in to the playoffs, the Vikings could certainly use their All-Pro safety.

We’ll see if the Vikings have Smith back in Week 15 when they host Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts are another team that will be fighting for a playoff spot.
